OPERATION

CHARGING

The pen features a high-capacity rechargable lithium polymer battery. This form of battery does not have a “memory” effect meaning that it can be recharged at any time without loss of capacity. However, it is recommended that you fully charge the battery and then use the camera normally until it is fully discharged before recharging. Cycling the battery in this manner for the first five times will ensure maximum battery capacity and operation time.

When charging the battery – whether using the included charger, or plugged into an active USB port – the status light will flash yellow/amber until the battery is fully charged. During the first few uses, allow the pen to continue charging for an hour after the light stops flashing.

When using the charger, both the green and red lights will illuminate until the battery is fully charged. When fully charged, only the red light will remain illuminated.

SETTING DATE & TIME

To ensure that your camera records the proper date and time on the files, you should run the Setting Time Tools V2.0 program located in the folder of the same name on the included mini-CD.

When the program launches, a Command window will open and the program will update the date and time based on your computer’s settings.

Depending upon your computer’s settings, you may see a warning about the pen’s drive not being available. The warning is normal as the program re-mounts the pen. Click “Continue” and the status of the update will be displayed in the Command window. Keep clicking “Continue” until you see the “Success” message in the window. Your pen now is set to the proper date and time.

HELPFUL HINTS

•When taking pictures, you will get the best results if both you and your subject are relatively still.

•The camera should be at least one foot from your subject when taking pictures.

•While recording video, you should try to keep the camera steady and avoid rapid movements for best video quality.

•You should not hold the pocket clip while taking video in order to avoid blocking the microphone or lens.

INSUFFICIENT MEMORY OR BATTERY

When the camera’s memory is full or the battery has run out of power, the Status Indicator light will alternately flash amber and blue for five seconds. It will then save the current file and shut down. You must remove the files stored on the memory to make space available to record further or recharge the battery as appropriate.
